The madness has begun!

I teach mini "Made Fabric" piecing in my 15 Minutes class,which I call my parlor trick! haha... I then had at the idea to start collecting a 1.5" piece of fabric from all my students... Am I insane? Probably, but I am joining in with my friends, Kim and Helen who are also working on postage stamp quilts...

I am doing mine on the machine, instead of by hand. All seams are pressed open to get the squares to lay flat. They sure are pesky little things!

Finished little squares will be 1"

I am also including my tiny made fabric little ones here and there just for insanity purposes. ;-)

I started the same type of blocks about a year ago. It is my go to project to bring to community sewing events because I can sew them and talk at the same time :-) I have about enough done to do a lap quilt. All as colorful as yours! Can't wait to see what you do with them!

I've been considering starting a quilt from 1.5 inch squares as well. not sure I'll be sewing itty bits together to make 1.5 inch squares, but you never know.btw: I tried to buy your 1.5 inch template, but can't stomach $25 for international shipping to Canada. Why so much? doesn't it fit into a letter envelope?

I have some small post-its in my drawer and I thought they were small, but they are 2" x 2". Your pieces are little! I don't know if I would have the patience to work on such a project although I did make a charm quilt with 2000 tumbler blocks. It turned out 8' x 10'! It was my millennium quilt.
